    Saint Hilarion Castle

    This is a medieval castle in northern Cyprus, named after the hermit Hilarion, who lived here in a hermitage around the 6th century. Climbing to St. Hilarion Castle is like stepping into a legend — each turn reveals ancient gates, watchtowers, and cliffside views that get more breathtaking the higher you go. Locals say fairies once lived here, but today it’s hikers and history lovers who chase the magic to the top.

    Kyrenia Castle

    Kyrenia’s charm lives in the quiet blend of its narrow streets and lively harbor — where old stone arches frame souvenir shops, and locals still greet each other by name. Around the harbor, sleek yachts float beside fishing boats, and historic walls echo with laughter from modern cafés and rooftop bars. Kyrenia Castle is unique in that, having repeatedly changed its appearance, owners and purpose throughout its history, it has survived like no other monument of such an impressive age, and today it can delight tourists with its grandeur, legends and secrets.
